The Botswana Chess Federation held the Botswana Youth Championships on the 25th March 2017 where Thuto Mpene, aged 8 (of the DLG Young Talent Sponsorship Programme) came in second with two silvers after battling seven rounds in the under 10 boys segment.
Each game was played by Swiss System for 60 minutes per player without increment and won six out of seven games. DLG would like to praise our champion’s performance, well done Thuto!
